My life has been so crazy these past few years its like a bad dream and then I stop and look at all I have. 4 wonderful kids a mother's love and a wonderful husband. Then I see my mother and I know she is dying and I wish I could help her and I see Thomas struggling to crawl and I am amazed at how God picks me back up out of my depression with the little things in my life that before I over looked between running to therapy, homework, house work, and just trying to catch my breath. I have took some time tonight to just sit alone and think. I thank God for my kids and for giving me Thomas to teach me to have patients and to look for those little miracles. I look at my mother and see a wonderful independent women who taught me to be what I am today. I Love her for all she gave up for me. My father died when I was 15 and she never remarried she raised me and my sister all alone and it has been almost 16 years since he died and it still hurts and now I am faced with letting her go I am scared to be with out her but I don't want her to suffer any more and I wish she could be back with my father. I have felt his presents a lot lately. I know that sound crazy but I have always felt him around at times and I feel like he is waiting for her. I guess in a strange Way God my have gave me Thomas to show me how to go on. I see her independents in him and the will to keep on going no matter what they tell me he can't do he shows me he can. People if I have any advice please love the people around you and let them know everyday. And make some good out of the bad...Blessing to all.

i have also realized that counting blessings every day is the only way to go a quote that i remember "those who have never known the depths of sorrow will never know the ehights of joy

One way I deal with obstacles in my life is to look at them as ways the Lord is trying to strengthen me. I've had a lot on my plate lately and just take things one day at a time. You forget sometimes who you are and what you like from taking care of everyone around you. Therapy, sick kids, no paid time off of work...the Lord works in mysterious ways. Hand your sorrow over to him and he'll make it work for you.

You'll be in my prayers.

Carron, You just brought tears to my eyes! I am sending you only the best thoughts and vibes and keeping your family in my prayers! I cant imagine how you must feel with your mom being ill...my mom is everything to me and I just dont know what I would do! I am so happy that you are staying strong!
I believe 100% that any of our friends and relatives that pass on are still there with us. I think they see what happens in our lives everyday and they are the ones who push us to go on and stay strong...of course along with the help of God and our angels.
Keep the positive things in your life positive and remember that you could get through anything your mind and body allows you to...and you are the one in control of your mind! I hope you find peace in your everyday life...I know how hard it could be at times!
Take care Carron and I will be talking to you soon.
Love to all of you...

Krista Thanks. I want to thank all of you who have been praying for me and my mother. It means a lot to me.

You are becoming wise through your sorrow...I hope and pray that God will bless you with strength to stay strong....Keep the faith....I believe those that we love don't really leave us they just change form....Love doesn't go away.
Prayers to your whole family.
